Greater Waterbury Genealogy & History

Brief Description:
Genealogists of all levels will appreciate the rich assortment of resources available detailing Waterbury history. What is now known as the city of Waterbury began with a meeting in October 1673 when the General Court of Connecticut appointed a committee to survey the area and evaluate a proposal to expand settlement into the Naugatuck Valley. In May 1674, a group of settlers from Farmington came to an area six miles wide and ten miles tall from Woodbury at West to Wallingford on the East and from Derby at the South extending North into the wilderness. It then included all or parts of the latter towns of Watertown, Plymouth, Wolcott, Prospect, Naugatuck, Thomaston, and Middlebury.
